I do get shark padoodoo in the brew, but evidently .005% shark poo and 1.3% shark urine has little effect on flavor, and is far less than the percentage of bear non fermentables found in average beer.

Do you find that you get better head retention w/ .005% shark padoodoo and 1.3% shark urine? I had read elsewhere (read: newsweek) that the absolute max shark urine percentage should be 1.1% or it starts to get an ocean funk to it. You are truly doing the work of 1000 men experimenting in these regions.

I think a great experiment would be to add a couple of ugly penguins to the primary after active fermentation is complete for the sharks to play with. I reckon they could clean up their mess within the normal 2-4 week time frame, unless filtering were to be used.

This opens the door for a whole new breed of bear beer. One where limits are nonexistent and fairies and gnomes live in harmony. I think you just stumbled onto a utopia.

That 1.1% number it turns out was by weight. not volume.

I find 1.3% to be just a hair low, but to each their own.

And....you are morte right than you know

In my heretofore unannounced underground 950,000,000 gallon lagering tank, there are (drumroll please) actually Killer Whales (with fricking laser beams of course) and ACTUAL, GENUINE Polar Bears!! All in my Hell's Wrath lager, the 450 IBU lager I have going right now. Can't wait to see what flavor they impart!!

(people think their habitat is in danger, lol, when actually, over half of the world's polar bears are in my basement!!!)

The killer whales have to eat, so I do have 2 colonies of penguins living on 2 of the bigger yeast bergs. Maybe 1000 birds in all.

On top of all of that (hopefully imparting no flavors) I have 2 camera crews from National Geographic also in the fermenter. They are planned to live in there for the 2 years this brew will take to ferment.
